- The two stars of Calgary 1988 go head to head. Rumours that Edwards had showered, changed and caught a taxi home before Nykaenen landed prove unfounded. Head to head starts at 1:38.
- บันเทิง
Loved Nykaenen's comment to Edwards "We are very close, I'm 11 O'Clock and your 1 O'Clock"
+Curtis I Hi's name is Matti Nykanen or Nykänen.
+Curtis I do you remember the complete comment??
+- xXSmogkerGodXx - no one cares
Does this conversation really happen? Or it's just in the movive?
In real life Matti does not speak english så good.
Nykanen and Edwards... both legends.
eddie was an embarrassment for us in the uk... yes i know it was fun but there must be a mimimum requirement distance to stop people like this, as there was more chance he could have hurt or killed himself..
davemaclfc41 Nope, you're wrong Dave. Eddie wasn't an embarrassment, he jumped the minimum distance required for qualification for the Calgary 88 Olympics. Of course he wasn't a world class ski jumper but the guy had balls, he never crashed at the Olympics but many others have. Has anyone from the UK even attempted to qualify for the Olympics as a ski jumper since Eddie in 88?! That tells you how difficult the sport is my friend..
@@harrycallahan3391 FIS doesnt even allow any other British ski jumpers to jump in any official competition, all other ski jumpers from Great Britain after Eddie are from USA or Canada
davemaclfc41 - you need to open your eyes and your heart will follow. “The most important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part; The essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well” -Pierre de Coubertin “The father of modern Olympic Games”.
I say you can talk shit when you achieved your dreams and they make a movie about you, otherwise stop hating on someone who will always be remembered for exactly that.
@@davemaclfc41 you are the embarrassment . The guy did more than any other person did and does to this day . He had heart .
"but on his day, the most supreme jumper this sport has ever seen". Just watched the movie, nice to see they used real quotes.
Watched it yesterday
Pity they made up so many things, and a greater pity that Eddie started to believe them himself...
Someone said you can't remember who won. They're wrong. Matti won olympic gold, Eddie won olympic hearts. THEN I don't remember who competed.
An inspiring story and I'm so proud of Eddie for beating the obvious prejudice of the British Olympic Committee
This guy did it as an adult when most of us lose that ability to keep trying.
I wonder if this was his first ever attempt at the 90m was at the Olympics?
@@b_uppyThink it was
The effect was that they started taking Ski Jumping seriously again
He was such a champ. I most likely watched all of his 46 world cup wins + the Olympic wins, the World Championship wins and World Flying Championship wins live on TV between 1981 and 1989, every single one of them. In some of these events he'd beat the competition by a large margin. And the competition was tough - Bulau and Kogler, then Weissflog, Ploc, Parma and Ulaga, then Felder, Vettori and Opaas, and in the end Thomas, Fidjestol and Nikkola. Definitely the golden age of ski jumping, even though there have been some great champs since those times as well.
Overall World Cup Winner (4 times), Four Hills Tournament Winner (2 times), Olympic Champion (4 times), World Champion (5 times), and Ski Flying World Champion (1 time), + countless 2nd and 3rd places in all types of competitions.
He was known as the bad boy from early on. He reached for the stars at the age of 18 and the media was constantly on his case. He was besieged and harassed by reporters like no other winter sports athlete of his time. Later, drugs and alcohol did lots of damage, as did failed personal relationships. I always had a feeling he'd die quite young as a result of such a messed up life, but 55 really is a bit too early. RIP and thanks for all the great sporting memories.
He is widely seen as one of the world's best ski-jumpers of all time. Had they not introduced the new V-style jumping his career would have been longer. Whatever mess his private life might have been he is in the history books of winter sports.
There is nothing left to say. Thank you for all this great moments and rest in peace, Matti Nykänen.
@@paulallen8109 V Style jumping?
Спасибо, что рассказываете о нём. В этом мире есть кем гордится!
@@paulallen8109 that's true, he never tought it would take of. But he had quite unique style him self. He placed his skiis to right and his body leaned left so he could carry more lift.
Eddie, I lived through your time as an olympian and loved every minute, you made us proud and have balls of steel 😂
Matti Nykänen, was the worlds best ski jumper at the time time, 4 gold olympic metals, and many many others,, so R.I.P Matti, we always remember you 😔
マッチニッカネンさんが
亡くなられたのは残念です。スキージャンプの3冠王は多分出ないと思います。
Just saw the movie yesterday... Well, I was dragged along by my wife... And I've gotta be honest, I was blown away! Great life story.
Why, because she wanted to go to the cimena? Women always want to go to the Cinema!!!
are you talking about eddie the eagle movie???
I think it is obvious we are talking about the movie. "just saw the MOVIE yesterday..." is a big no holes bared clue.
Were obviously not talking about "Cool Runnings" or "Ice Age".....
nvstewart to be fair, cool running was a great film about the Jamaican bobsled team
Mick Funny It is a good film, a classic and I never stated otherwise.
came here right after the movie. splendid film. very enjoyable
Me to 6 march 2021 21:00 hours channel E4 UK .🇬🇧
Eddie The Eagle is a severely underrated and overlooked hero, he deserves a knighthood for his determination and inspiration in my opinion.
Yeah, credit to Nykaenen for managing that little bit farther. But dude, 71 meters is still a hell of a distance. Especially for a man who's not had much real practice. What a hero, chased his dream and gave it all he'd got. The true Olympic spirit. The pride of Britain. Superb stuff.
I agree 1,000 per cent. Eddie The Eagle embodies the traditional olympic ideals much more than someone like Lance Armstrong with their megabuck training budgets and PEDs or certain eastern bloc countries with their state sponsored PED programs (all to show who is "Superior").
Agreed, but in my opinion they are both equally as impressive and idols. Matti was focused more on practice and discipline, but he had just as much passion for it. Eddie focused on his dream and never gave up, that's what makes him great. You can barely compare these two, because they approached their passion very differently. What makes them similar is the love for their sport and that's enough for me to call someone a hero.
Finland gives to Eddie few weeks of training with most best jumpers in that time. He jumps with Nykänen. Everybody remember Eddie and his song "hyppää eetu hyppää" ... yes one of legendary musician makes a song but died at the same day when Eddie came to studio. Eddie have to sing it alone but it was funny and peoples loved it. That movie didn't tell the true story even it's better than the movie.
75 Meters, not 71 Meters according to the results when he landed.
just been to see the movie Eddie the eagle! I loved it, so interesting.
Matti was the best character in the movie. He was such a professional that he had a lot of great advice. He wasn't totally arrogant. He was just so good that he could't help but try to pass on his wisdom to someone who was absolutely new to the sport.
Heh, too bad it was all made up because the guy didn't speak a word of english in real life. There is a true story about him though; when a reporter was making fun of Eddie in an interview, Nykänen got angry and told him "why don't you go up to that tower yourself if you dare"
@@me_too_thanks5062 lol no one asked
Rest in Peace Matti ❤️
Eddie said in an interview in 1988 with Günther Jauch that Matti was a really nice guy. He said that he couldn't speak a lot of english, but he was able to speak some. And Eddie could speak a bit of finnish also. That's how they could communicate, not a lot but well. Eddie said that especially to the other jumpers Matti was always nice but he didn't really like the press and that people took pictures of him. I didn't know him myself, but judging from that I would say he was not arrogant at all.
@@me_too_thanks5062 He did speak some as he told Eddie that people expected him to lose, but with himself they expected him to always win.
Yeah the movie said it right, had Eddie trained longer or trained since he was 6 he wouldve been much better or perhaps better than Matti. He was 22 when he started ski jumping and still managed to do the 90 meter jump and landed 71 meters at his first time, thats some skill.
Eddie the Eagle 🦅 is a legend remember watching him as a child he had balls to do them jumps and his story is of a brave man who accomplished his dreams of competing at the Olympics.
RIP Matti, when u died a little piece of me died with u. U were, u are and u will be my favourite ski jumper of all times. U were THE greatest in the history of this beautiful sport, the only winter sport i've ever loved. Now, teach the angels how to jump.
Sunday 27.12.2020 after a Chanel 4 movies about Eddie I had to see more
as a bit of an 80’s child born in Europe I use 2 watch Olympics on my tv ,I was in Sarajevo Olympics but can’t remember the year unfortunately
Amazing true story movie , what a legend with a big heart 💓
My 5yr old English daughter was impressed and liked the story
💪🆙🆙🏆🥇bravo Eddie
Eddie wasn't the only one who made history that year. We shouldn't forget also about the four men from Jamaica who compete in their bobsledding debut.
RESPECT to Bubbles from Trailer park Boys
any body else heare after watching eddie the eagle?
Rest in piece legend its been exactly a year
Who’s here after watching Eddie the Eagle on Channel 4. 27th Dec 2020
Me lol 😂 haha 80’s child , movies was fantastic even my 5 year old daughter had an interest ..living legend 🏆🥇💪
I hope he remains in the British consciousness his entire life.
His story is inspirational, and if he comes around every 4 years , so be it, that would be enough.
The winner that year Matti Ensio Nykänen, passed away aged just 55, he had a very, very tumultuous life off the circuit.
Undiagnosed ADHD, until almost the very end of his life, was very, very cruel.
The discipline of an athlete often draws ADHD sufferers , Johnny Wilkinson, David Beckham to name but only two.
After giving up one obsession, they immediately require another.
But the world has just too many temptations, so without any of us knowing this, ( including Matti), the often strick discipline of an athlete is what truly saves themselves from themself, and all the records, medals, and adulation, can, and often are a distraction.
I wish Eddie happiness
and
Matti peace.
Matti Nykänen: - He was a tenacious guy, brisk and positive. Although the man's results were not tops, you can't consider him as hopeless. Eddie was an Olympic-level athlete, and he also jumped from the big hill, a fact that not everyone succeeds at, Matti reminds.
Exactly, and didn't more than a few pro-level ski jumpers fall on their jumps?
They both also sung on record - believe it or not!
RIP Matti
I only came here because of the movie
JoJo's Cultist Leader Me too!!
i remember nykänen :O
Just saw the movie. Amazing!!
I've met so many people who hate Eddie The Eagle. They're all douchebags : ) Dont care if they think its sentimental tripe and the movie includes a sports montage -- he's always been one of my favourite people. Go Eddie : )
Unice Fidiots Spot on pal, it's obvious that Eddie wasn't a world class ski jumper, but the guy had balls..
The problem is that Eddie started to believe the lies (aka "poetic licence") told in the film. He is on video lying about his nearly making the Olympic team as a downhill skier.
It's a shame, he could've been such a hero.
@@dannyoakenfold9959 he’s not a hero?
@@Ian-nu3rj To many he's still a hero, but I'm just pointing out that his reputation has been tarnished by lying about his past. Lying isn't especially heroic in my book.
More than sentimental tripe, it's full of inaccuracies and exaggerations. That's Hollywood I guess, but it's still a pity that he started to believe his own hype.
A już miałem nadzieje, że to para w Turnieju Czterech Skoczni
Inspirational as fuck, absolute ledgend.
Just watching the film now, what a guy
The MATTI Movie ?
Eddie the eagel der Held meiner Kindheit!!!!!! Was für eine Legende
I was looking for Eddie the Eagle trailer, ended up here...
still not bad movie bro
Eddie was real Popular here in FINLAND ! He even STARTED as a SINGER - that mede Him - more Famous - than Matti was at the time ! ( as a singer ) - He paved the way to Mattis singing Career ! Eddie couldnt any Finnish - but The Song was played to Honor Him on The Radio ! This is something that UK ( Ski Jumping Community ) & People have totally missed ?
I love the Disney movie and this 2:06 jumps so amazing I love the ice skating myself but I could never ski to scary for me haha
so the "back on the floor" at the ending is just dramatic add yes ?
yes lol. I was trying to find that after the movie. it's Hollywood, the coach in this movie never coach eddie the eagle in the first place! and he trained in Lake placid not Germany. it's just added in for drama. check out eddie the eagle facts vs fiction
Great! Thanx! @ ;-)
The half of us are here bc of the movie "Eddie the Eagle"
One was the greatest ski jumper of all time, the other just wanted to be an Olympian.
It wasn't after a full week that they found out Eddie was totally blind.
estoy aca porque recién terminé de ver la película de Edie el aguila
Admit if you watched this video after watching the movie about this historical moment.
Listen to the crowd when The Eagle jumps, that's the winning cheer!
Pra quem nunca participou ele voo foi alto
Legend.
Really love from India
eddie is a legend
RIP LEGEND
#54 Erik Johnsen's hair are in the league of their own.
Una lástima que la burocracia y las reglas nuevas ya no permitan nuevos Eddie The Eagle
Back in the day of parallel skis before they flew with V skis….I seem to remember the first guy to use the V,pretty sure his surname began with V
The guy in the pink suit who congratulates Nykänen looks like Dave Mustaine...
Suuri mestari, joka muistetaan aina.
Edwards had the right Olympic spirit.
Ask anyone over 50 to his/her key memory of Calgary Winter Olympics, and most can't name one single winner, but they all know about Eddy the Eagle. This guy is a legend! 😄
Hold you dream....................forewer
a nice biography movie....
Does anyone know who the commentator is?
Great time
Why am I here in 2021
I notice the announcers are pronouncing Nykanen's name more or less correctly. On Canadian TV, they always called him "Nee-kanen".
Maybe that's just a Calgary thing. Eight years after this, the Calgary Flames drafted defenceman Tony Lydman, who we called "Lid-man" until he was finally traded to the Buffalo Sabres, whereupon all the announcers started calling him "Loodman", which is closer to the way Finnish people would say it. Weird.
Actually, the pronunciation in this video (like new-kanen) is not much better than "neekanen." Just say "Nykänen."
eddie made ski jumping more famous than any of the best ski jumpers ever have..And who is making movies of their lives ???? nobody..that's who.....He will always be a legend...
There's movie about Nykänen.
this is call a real Olympic eddie the eagle
Cool video, I also have an episode on this topic on my channel. Where I told the whole story in detail and interestingly.
But Eddie got the biggest cheer from the crowd!!!!!!!!!!
Who came from the movie ?
Another legend on the commentary..Ron Pickering
That makes 2 and Eddie, only kidding....time has cemented Eddie's name in the psyche of the underdog ...everyone knows Eddie the Eagle...
"Turns glasses upside down in pubs when he wants a bit of excitement"????? He fights????
Sogar im Skispringen klingen die Worte der englischen Reporter genial. Von Fussball ganz zu schweigen.
Nykanen is the Beat of all time
0:03 'Turns glasses upside-down in pubs when he's looking for danger''. In the old days if you turned your glass upside-down at the bar in a pub it meant you already accepted a 'shout' from other people and weren't going to repay the favor. A sure way to get into a knuckle.
A shout? Is that like a round or something? I figured he meant he was talking about downing shots of liquor in succession and upturning them afterwards?
@@LandersWorkshop They paid for his drink but he refused to return the favor.
Both men at 11 o’clock and 1 o’clock both on different sides of the clock but very close to one another
They're not making any films about Nykaenen are they?
+Sofia Singleton They've already made one years ago. Guess what? Eddie wasn't in it.
+Sofia Singleton You can probably find documents about Nykänen drinking at cruise ships nowadays xd
In Estonia it was also shown in cinemas, don't know how well it did, but everybody knew it.
Sofia Singleton. They are. In Finland. But it's in Finish. And that means subtitles. And in the USA and UK they are allergic to that. You know, there are good movies made outside Hollywood. You also should know only "American heroes" emerge in American films and only "British heroes" in British films. You'll never see a film about Usain Bolt. You know why?? He's not American. How many Hollywood movies are there about the football/soccer players Pelé and Maradona?
@@Osc1llateW1ldly Have you ever heard about D.W. Griffith's "Birth of a Nation". Bet a million you haven't. And that only proves your ignorance. Had you known about important movies you'd know it's one of the important milestones.
yea but can Eddie jump the shark like Fonzie ?? I think not !!
Nykäs-Matti!
eddie u are the best of the best
Nykaenen was the best but Edwards was the bravest.
IMG SO HIGH AND DANGER 😦😮
Was ist der Unterschied zwischen den beiden? Edwards lebt noch! Noch Fragen?
Matti, do you want to party.
Eddie is wannabe Matti :D
Edwards the legend
Brasil kkkk acabei de ver filme
Where’s my Calgarians at???👇👇
and now tna world champ. ... wait wrong guy
The movie
Eddie was a ski jumper because he loved to jump. The American press made a total joke out of him. Shame on you, USA.
Эдди, ты лучший!! Горжусь тобой Эдди!!
Eddie the legend Eagle
70 метро это очень много
Mortal
Is it just me who thinks the Matti in the movie is fit? Just me...? Ok....;-;
The big eagle 🦅....👋👋👋👋👋
1:14 Kevin De bruyne
Oru kada solutumasur. Kwdvar ondi
Jadi ini aslinya salut keren
Pasti nonton di gtv 😂
Film yg membuat kepercayaan
The bloke that won became a stripper. 😂
Eddie has a far better style
Hah...Joke?
Matti Nykaenen (paid professional) vs Eddie The Eagle Edwards (unpaid amateur)
Only one legend because nobody remembers Matti Nykaenen.
Nykaenen still remians the most succesful ski jumper in the sport's history.
& yet nobody remembers him.
BigBaddie666 you = not everyone
More like : the guy who was winning everything at the time vs the guy who always took last places in competiotions
No one here in Finland remembers Ski jumper Matti Nykänen. Everyone remembers the alcoholic, horrible singer, jail bird etc. Matti Nykänen
